Smooth projective translation planes

A projective plane is called smooth if both the point space and the line space are smooth manifolds such that the geometric operations are smooth. We prove that every smooth projective translation plane is isomorphic to one of the classical planes over , , or .Dedicated to Professor Dr. H. Salzmann on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Symmetric Skorohod topology onn-variable functions and hierarchical Markov properties ofn-parameter processes

Summary We introduce a new Skorohod topology for functions of several variables. Since ann-variable function may be viewed as a one-variable function with values in the set of (n–1)-variable functions, this topology is defined by induction from the classical Skorohod topology for one-variable functions. This allows us to define the notion of completen-parameter symmetric Markov processes: Such processes are, for any 1pn, rawp-parameter Markov processes (in the sense of our previous paper [17]) with values in the space of (n–p)-variable functions. We prove, for these processes and their Bochner subordinates, a maximal inequality which implies the continuity of additive functionals associated with finite energy measures. We finally present several important examples.     

Reflected Brownian motion in a cone: Semimartingale property

Summary In this paper, the object of study is reflected Brownian motion in a cone ind-dimensions (d3) with nonconstant oblique reflection on each radial line emanating from the vertex of the cone. The basic question considered here is When is this process a semimartingale?. Conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the process for which the vertex is an instantaneous state were given by Kwon, which is resolved in terms of a real parameter depending on the cone and the direction of reflection. It is shown that starting from any point of the cone, the process is a semimartingale if < 1, + 0 and not a semimartingale if < < 2.This research is supported by KOSEF grant 941-0100-011-1     

A family of (n−1)! Diagonal polynomial orders ofN n

Letn>0 be an element of the setN of nonnegative integers, and lets(x)=x ₁+...+x _n , forx=(x ₁, ...,x _n ) N _n . Adiagonal polynomial order inN _n is a bijective polynomialp:N _n N (with real coefficients) such that, for allx,y N _n ,p(x)<p(y) whenevers(x)<s(y). Two diagonal polynomial orders areequivalent if a relabeling of variables makes them identical. For eachn, Skolem (1937) found a diagonal polynomial order. Later, Morales and Lew (1992) generalized this polynomial order, obtaining a family of 2 ^n–2 (n>1) inequivalent diagonal polynomial orders. Here we present, for eachn>0, a family of (n – 1)! diagonal polynomial orders, up to equivalence, which contains the Morales and Lew diagonal orders.     

Symmetries and generalizedW∞ algebra of the modified KP equation

The infinitely many symmetries with arbitrary functions of timet for the potential modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvilli equation are obtained by using a simple direct method. These symmetries constitute a generalization of the well-knownW algebra.     

Relationship between tetrahedron shape measures

Tetrahedron shape measures are used for evaluating the quality of tetrahedra in finite element meshes. Three shape measures, theminimum solid angle _min theradius ratio , and themean ratio , are discussed in this paper. A new formula for the computation of a solid angle of tetrahedron is derived. For different shape measures andv (with values 1), we establish a relationship between andv of the form wherec ₀,c ₁,e ₀, ande ₁ are positive constants. This means that if one measure approaches zero for a poorly-shaped tetrahedron, so does the other. Combined with the property that each measure attains a maximum value only for the regular tetrahedron, this means that the shape measures are equivalent.This work was partially supported by a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.     

Weighted bounds for the carleson maximal operator inR n

On stable geometries

Within the concept of projective lattice geometry we are considering the class of stable geometries which have also been introduced in [14]. The investigation of their basic properties will result in fundamental structure theorems which especially give a lattice-geometric characterization of free left modules of rank 6 over proper right Bezout rings of stable rank 2. This yields a proper generalization of previous results of ours.
